Adams on Criminal Law is an indispensable, practical guide for the courts, police, academics, prosecution, defence and general practitioners. It addresses the field of criminal law from beginning to end and includes offences legislation: the Crimes Act, the Arms Act, and the Misuse of Drugs Act. The Courts’ interpretation of these is extensively commentated. Material relating to the criminal investigation process and criminal procedure forms a large part of the product, with chapters on trial procedure, the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act, blood sampling and DNA testing. The stand alone Evidence and Sentencing works are also included.
